DWI/DUI Defense
Our specialized DWI/DUI defense team handles all levels of alcohol-related charges. We challenge evidence admissibility, scrutinize testing procedures, and develop strategic defenses tailored to blood alcohol concentration, field sobriety test results, and procedural compliance. With Minnesota's strict implied consent laws, our attorneys provide immediate guidance for license revocation challenges and ignition interlock requirements.
Criminal Defense
We represent clients facing felony and misdemeanor charges including assault, sex crimes, and drug offenses. Our approach combines aggressive courtroom advocacy with strategic plea negotiations. We protect clients' constitutional rights during investigations and challenge unlawfully obtained evidence to secure dismissals or reduced charges.
License Restoration
Our firm specializes in post-conviction license reinstatement processes. We guide clients through ignition interlock requirements, chemical health assessments, and work permit applications. We challenge unlawful license revocations and develop strategies to minimize driving restrictions while maintaining compliance with state regulations.
Felony Defense
We defend against felony charges including repeat DWI offenses and violent crimes. Our team challenges enhancement factors, negotiates sentencing alternatives, and prepares comprehensive trial strategies. We address collateral consequences like firearm possession restrictions and voting rights limitations associated with felony convictions.
Court Representation
Our attorneys provide comprehensive court representation from initial appearances to trial proceedings. We handle bail negotiations, pretrial motions, and evidentiary hearings. Our team maintains strong relationships with local prosecutors while maintaining aggressive advocacy for dismissals, reduced charges, or favorable plea agreements.

Questions
What should I do immediately after a DWI arrest?
Contact our 24/7 team for immediate guidance on license revocation timelines, chemical test decisions, and court preparation.

Previous offenses within 10 years enhance penalties, but our team challenges enhancement factors and explores expungement options.

Work permits and ignition interlock devices may allow limited driving privileges while maintaining legal compliance.
